One more example is ethanol mixed with butyric acid. Upon boiling, they combine by releasing a water molecule. The result is ethyl butyrate, which has a pineapple flavor. It's interesting how flavors can come from molecules that have no similarity with the final flavor. Stay tuned for a link that will have many more examples....
